IMPROVED SAUSAG-E-STUFFER AND LARD-PRESS.,

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent an making part'of the same.'

lo a-ll whom it mcg/.concern Be it known that I, ABNER BISHOP, of Smithville, in the county vof Wayne and in the State of Ohio, have `invented certain new and useful Improvemerits in Combined Sausage-Studer and Lard-Press; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had tothe accompanying drawing and to theletters ot' reference .marked thereon making a part of this specication. l l

The nature of my invention consists Vin the construction and alrangementof a combined sausagestuter and lard-press, as will be hereinafter fully set forth. e

1n order to enable others skilled in the art to which my invention appertains to make andl use the same, I will now proceed to describeits construction and operation, referring to the annexed. drawing,` in which- Figure 1 is a front elevation of my machine;

Figure 2 is a side view of the inner, and

Figure 3 of' the outer cylinder, forming the lard receptacle for pressing the same; and

Figure L.tis a vertical sectiouof the spout of the sausage-stutter.

A represents the bed-piece of my machine, having two inclined standards, B B, joined together at their upper ends, as shown in fig. 1.

From the point ot" connection of the vtwo standards a vertical bar, C, extends downward a suitable distance.

This bar C is provided with suitable guides, a, between which moves perpendicularly arack-bar, D, which is operated by means of a segment rack, E,

pivoted to one of' the inclined standards B, and which is provided with a lever, G, for turning the same.

The plunger being attached at the lower end of the rack-bar D, it obtains a perfectly perpendicular action instead of the usual side action, requiring less power to force the plunger down. y

Upon the bed A, directly beneath the rack-bar D, is secured the hopper H, in such a manner that it can be readilyremoved by merelyturnin'g a bolt.

The stulier H is provided with a spout, I, having an air-tube, b, on top, as shown in tig. 4.

The skin in which the meat is to be stulied being tied over the end of the spout I and tube b, the air contained inthe skin is allowed to pass out through said tube. l

Vl-ien itis desired to press lard with the same machine, the hopper H is removed, as above mentioned, and the cylinders J and K placed on the bed A, the inner cylinder J .being perforated, and of suitable size for the plunger of the machine.

Having thus fully described my invention,

lVhat 1 claim as new, and desire-t0 secure by Let ters Patent, is-

The combination and arrangement of the bed A, standards B B, bar C, rack-bar D, segment rack E, lever G, hopper H, spout I, andtube-b, all substantially as andfor 'the purposes herein set forth.

1n testimony that I claim the foregoing, I have here` unto set; my hand this 10th day of January, 18x70.I ABNER BISHOP.
